Malaprops


Just finished watching the series over the past few weeks. Some of my favorites:

Chris (re Jackie Jr.): "He is the hair apparent."

Carmine Jr. (to Tony): "I heard about your alteration with Coco."

Paulie: "He's the Chinese Prince Matchabelli."

Johnny Soprano: "She's an albacore around my neck!"

Carmine Jr.: "We're in a stagmire."

Tony: "...prostate with grief."

Tony: "...the death of Vito Senior and all that entrails."

reply

Little Carmine - "You're at a precipice of an enormous crossroads."

Bobby - "Quasimodo predicted all of this."

Christo-fuh - "Create a little dysentery in the ranks"

reply

Tony: "Lets talk John about the 500 pound elephant in the room." That would be a very small elephant.

reply

To be fair...prince matchabelli is how they used to pronounce it on the tv commercials👍

Chris: "...the flying ointment."

reply

You young'uns wouldn't remember but there was a comedian named Norm Crosby who butchered the language as his shtick. The Sopranos should have hired him..

reply

Tony: "Why don't you illuminate me!"

Not a Malapropism, but funny.
Dr Melfi: "Carlos Castaneda said, 'live every moment as if it were your last dance on earth.' "
Tony: "Who the **** listens to prize fighters? Ali maybe, he had a little wisdom."
